Sevilla want Steven N'Zonzi to remain at the club amid exit talk

Sevilla coach Eduardo Berizzo wants to keep Steven N'Zonzi at the club despite the midfielder's reported desire to leave this summer.

Diario de Sevilla recently reported that N'Zonzi had asked to be transfer listed as soon as possible with his release clause set to increase by €5 million to €45m at the end of the month.

Juventus and Arsenal have reportedly monitored the 28-year-old, who impressed for Sevilla last season when he made 34 La Liga starts.

"I think he knows it and there is no need for the coach to say it," Berizzo told beIN SPORTS when asked about N'Zonzi's future. "He is a top footballer, with a physical presence. For any coach, he would be a key player and I hope we can count on him after Aug. 31."
